Overview of Zebra Guide Wire

Zebra Guide Wire is a specialized medical wire used in gastroenterology procedures to access and navigate the gastrointestinal tract. It features a distinct striped pattern for enhanced visibility during fluoroscopy. This guide wire ensures smooth passage and precise control during therapeutic endoscopy.

Product History

Zebra Guide Wires were introduced to improve visibility and maneuverability in endoscopic procedures. The name “Zebra” comes from the alternating black and white stripes designed for better fluoroscopic recognition. Over the years, the design has evolved with advancements in core materials and hydrophilic coatings. These innovations have made it a staple tool in modern GI procedures.
